A continuation of events surrounding the drug war and related social issues of Baja California and Mexico. Keeping an eye on Seig Heil Trump. We are still trying to restore all blogs from 2006 which were hacked by Linton Robinson and his team, famous for supporting the Baja Trump Towers on one of his real estate sites. Highlights of Paris-Simone's favorite music !!

Monday, September 24, 2018

Extremely behind here due to three trips up to the States last week; Paris was at VCA once again, but she has finally recovered from a weird bug she picked up. Yesterday I was able to give her a bathers and she had her first full meal (Mike cooked her a New York). This is a problem with Bassetts - they are hounds and always have their noses down sniffing around getting into everything...plus they are ultra sensitive. Bob the Daca cat is by her side.

In between times we have been following the Kavanaugh saga with the accusations from Dr. Christine Blassey Ford (whom we both believe) while Trump and his idiot son minimize and dismiss her charges along with most Republicans. Now when I see Mitch McConnell I want to vomit.
He was always a turtle head.

Y'all remember this guy...the flasher !

Yesterday late afternoon more charges emerged regarding Brett Kavanugh (I spelled that wrong on purpose) from yet another woman:

Next, as far as we know, Kavanugh & Dr. Blassey Ford with both be testifying on Thursday 27th, and Diane Feinstein (oh finally she does something right) calls for a postponement of the the key Judiciary Committee vote. More up to date interviews and opinions:

Unfortunately, Mexico who is famous for their Novelas has not at least locally been covering the Kavanugh story - and it would make a great Novela.

*********

Locally it has been horrible, PGJE building attacked in Tijuana, another Police Officer murdered, many killings throughout Ensenada , Pabillon's in Rosarito has become a shooting gallery, drug tunnel located out in Jacume across from Jacumba, and the executions just keep mounting in Tijuana. Taking care of Paris kept my mind distracted, but the truth is, people are scared. AMLO was in town - thousands turned out to greet and cheer him on...he looked worried to me. I'll be back tomorrow with those updates and latest reports on Immigration Atrocities thanks to Donald Trump.

UPDATE/edit 09/24:

- We are past the midmark of the month, so it is difficult to say if September will continue the trend of hitting at least 200 dead from the drug war in Tijuana. In order to understand or get a sense of how the Mexican people are feeling about the violence, here is the latest survey:

Eight out of ten (81.2%) Tijuanenses feel insecure, as reflected in the
last citizen perception report of the Metropolitan Center of Economic
and Business Information (Cemdi) regarding the first semester of 2018,
this statistic exceeds the national average that is set in 79.7%.

The director of Cemdi, Rubén Roa Dueñas pointed out that 84.6% of the
women surveyed feel insecure when driving on the streets, it is the
highest rate registered, however in the case of men there is also a high
percentage that does not feel sure to be walking on the roads of the
city with 77.8%.

"Our function is to generate transparent statistics, we are not going
to tire of publishing the findings that the citizenship gives us and the
impacts to the economy, we want CDT to do well and promote investment,
and this is a way to give clarity to the authorities the thinking of the
people, "he said.

ATMs with 77% are still the places where people take the most
precautions, followed by transportation with 65.4% and with 57.6% the
public road as the most insecure places in Tijuana according to the
public perception.

The state and municipal police do not generate confidence
The state police was the lowest in the index of trust on the part of
the citizens in Tijuana with 3.4%, while the municipal police also came
out with a very low 3.6%, while the Federal Police registered a 7.8% and
the armed forces like army and navy have a confidence of 19.3%.

In the face of the homicides that continue to plague the city, there
was a 10% increase in the witnessing of the sale and consumption of
drugs with respect to the last quarter (48.9%), something that draws
attention and for what the CDT urged to combat the crime prevention.

"We must work more in the prevention of crime and all technological tools to ensure the safety of citizens," he said.

Finally, Roa Dueñas mentioned that it is irrelevant to ask if the
delinquents, aggressors or even victims are from Tijuana or from abroad,
since the city has historically been nourished on the basis of
migration.

"The city has been very kind because of the geographical location and
its proximity to the North American market, it would be pointless to
delve into the origin of the criminals." concluded.

***** - On 09/20/18 Frontera reported the number of murders in Tijuana exceeded the numbers from last year (same time period). At this point, the YTD total for Tijuana was 1,789 dead:From Frontera

***** - Today, Frontera reports @ 8:13am there have been 154 homicides in Tijuana, giving the city a YTD figure of 1,818 people dead from the drug war. Since then, I am counting three more.From Frontera:Balean a 2 En Puntos Distintos de TijuanaPor, Angel F. GonzalezTo follow the conflict, including attacks on Police, one Municipal Police and another wounded, PGJE Offices attacked in the Zona Rio, the narco tunnel just across from Jacumba Hot Springs in Jacume (although we are not receiving much information on this tunnel as far as how sophisticated it was and if it went under the "Fence" - only that it was discovered by the PEPO's on a tip and used for both drug and human smuggling), the body parts,burned bodies, narco-mantas, chopped off heads left in containers, and attack on USBP personnel and vehicle off of Avenida International (arrest made in this case),weapons and drug busts go here where you can also click portada for the other daily news & great editorials:FronteraFrontera Policiaca|twitter

- A bit later this afternoon, Zeta reported 21 people assassinated over this last weekend including one this morning putting the monthly total in Tijuana @ 160 dead:

- You will remember local Carmen Guiterrez from many years back reporting the drug war, corruption and social anomalies - she has the Rosarito beat at Frontera and keeps us all informed. Here's a rundown of drug war events so far this last month in Rosarito Beach:

More Rosarito Reports here, although backlogs not included for previous months.end edit thank god.

********** Oh, and Reuban noted we have had four blackouts here at SADM in just the past few weeks,one of which I think blew out my speakers on the computer so I can't listen to this but you can....one for Kavanugh( aka Mean Mr. Mustard) the flasher although now we are learning through Democracy Now ! that he did more than flash it, he put it in her face. I didn't see that in the USMSM, wow.
